Pulling power weakens significantly with every subsequent millimeter of gap. Remember that even a microscopic distance (e.g., dirt, paint, veneer) significantly weakens the grip. Neodymiums hold strongest in perfect adhesion; gap weakens the force. Observe how rapidly the parameters plummet, when the magnet does not adhere directly to the steel surface. When designing the mounting, eliminate unnecessary gaps.

The table below presents the estimated weight limit required to initiate the slippage of the magnet downwards along a vertical steel plate (considering standard friction coefficient). This parameter is a function of the distance between the magnet and the metal.

Table 3: Wall mounting (shearing) - vertical pull
MPL 20x3x2 / N38

Surface type	Friction coefficient / % Mocy	Max load (kg/lbs/g/N)
Raw steel	µ = 0.3 30% Nominalnej Siły	0.70 kg / 1.54 pounds 699.0 g / 6.9 N
Painted steel (standard)	µ = 0.2 20% Nominalnej Siły	0.47 kg / 1.03 pounds 466.0 g / 4.6 N
Oily/slippery steel	µ = 0.1 10% Nominalnej Siły	0.23 kg / 0.51 pounds 233.0 g / 2.3 N
Magnet with anti-slip rubber	µ = 0.5 50% Nominalnej Siły	1.17 kg / 2.57 pounds 1165.0 g / 11.4 N

When mounting a holder on a vertical plane (e.g., a fridge), it will maintain just approx. 20%-30% of its nominal power. Gravity and a weak degree of grip mean that holders slide down faster than they pull off. Planning a hanger? Consider that the sliding force is noticeably lower than the perpendicular breakaway force. On a painted metal, the magnet will give way down under a significantly smaller load. Application of an anti-slip pad can drastically increase the grip.

A thin metal plate is incapable of take in the full magnetic flux, which weakens actual performance of the magnet. Should you mount a strong magnet to a weak sheet, the magnetism will penetrate right through and the holding will be smaller. To utilize 100% of this magnet's potential, you require a sufficiently solid piece of metal. The material oversaturation causes that on sheet metal structures (e.g., appliance housings), the magnet holds weaker. We suggest choosing the steel dimension from these parameters.

Standard neodymium magnets lose parameters past the thermal threshold. Protect against heat – heat can permanently damage this product. With every degree above norm, the neodymium's power temporarily drops. Do not use this product close to ovens exceeding its working range. Ignoring the limit will lead to destruction of magnetic properties.

*Engineering note: Temperature resistance is determined by both grade, and the Permeance Coefficient Pc. Flat magnets (low permeance coefficient) may lose charge permanently at lower temperatures than long magnets. Red status in the table points to a risk of irreversible loss for this particular item.

Two magnetic products attract each other from a wider radius than a magnet and steel combination. Such a system of two magnets creates a more powerful interaction and a further horizon of performance. Planning to create a solid fastener? Apply two magnets instead of one magnet and a steel. Remember that when connecting a pair of magnets, the pinch force is huge. The levitation is marginally weaker than the attraction, but still significant.
*Field value between like poles drops to ~0 Gs in the exact middle of the gap (due to field cancellation).
Important: Calculations refer to shear force of a pair of matching neodymium magnets (friction ~0.15 for Ni-Ni layer).

A strong magnetic field poses a serious hazard to electronics and medical implants. These neodymiums produce a flux that disrupts operation of digital equipment. Notice: the unseen radiation passes through tissues and housings. Exceptional care must be taken by people with cochlear implants and drug dispensers. Also at risk are: mechanical watches, remotes, membranes, and screens. Do not place the magnet near cards, hard drives, or precise measuring instruments.

Neodymium magnets are prone to chipping – a collision with steel causes immediate chipping. Pay attention to connection velocity – a neodymium left loose speeds with massive force. Kinetic force can trigger coating fragments or injury to skin. Be sure to control the product during mounting so it doesn't hit violently against the steel surface. A collision at high speed means shattering of the magnet. Wear eye protection when working with powerful specimens.

Rust risk: This magnet has a standard nickel coating. After use in water, it must be dried and maintained immediately, otherwise it will rust!

Contrary to myths, water does not block the magnetic field. Buoyancy helps in lifting finds.

1. Shear force

*Warning: On a vertical wall, the magnet retains merely ~20% of its perpendicular strength.

2. Plate thickness effect

*Thin steel (e.g. computer case) drastically weakens the holding force.

3. Temperature resistance

*For standard magnets, the critical limit is 80°C.

4. Demagnetization curve and operating point (B-H)

chart generated for the permeance coefficient P_c (Permeance Coefficient) = 0.32

The chart above illustrates the magnetic characteristics of the material within the second quadrant of the hysteresis loop. The solid red line represents the demagnetization curve (material potential), while the dashed blue line is the load line based on the magnet's geometry. The P_c (Permeance Coefficient), also known as the load line slope, is a dimensionless value that describes the relationship between the magnet's shape and its magnetic stability. The intersection of these two lines (the black dot) is the operating point — it determines the actual magnetic flux density generated by the magnet in this specific configuration. A higher P_c value means the magnet is more 'slender' (tall relative to its area), resulting in a higher operating point and better resistance to irreversible demagnetization caused by external fields or temperature. A value of 0.42 is relatively low (typical for flat magnets), meaning the operating point is closer to the 'knee' of the curve — caution is advised when operating at temperatures near the maximum limit to avoid strength loss.

Model MPL 20x3x2 / N38 features a low profile and professional pulling force, making it a perfect solution for building separators and machines. As a magnetic bar with high power (approx. 2.33 kg), this product is available immediately from our warehouse in Poland. Additionally, its Ni-Cu-Ni coating secures it against corrosion in standard operating conditions, giving it an aesthetic appearance.

Separating block magnets requires a technique based on sliding (moving one relative to the other), rather than forceful pulling apart. To separate the MPL 20x3x2 / N38 model, firmly slide one magnet over the edge of the other until the attraction force decreases. We recommend extreme caution, because after separation, the magnets may want to violently snap back together, which threatens pinching the skin. Using a screwdriver risks destroying the coating and permanently cracking the magnet.

Plate magnets MPL 20x3x2 / N38 are the foundation for many industrial devices, such as magnetic separators and linear motors. They work great as fasteners under tiles, wood, or glass. Customers often choose this model for hanging tools on strips and for advanced DIY and modeling projects, where precision and power count.

For mounting flat magnets MPL 20x3x2 / N38, we recommend utilizing two-component adhesives (e.g., UHU Endfest, Distal), which ensure a durable bond with metal or plastic. Double-sided tape cushions vibrations, which is an advantage when mounting in moving elements. Remember to roughen and wash the magnet surface before gluing, which significantly increases the adhesion of the glue to the nickel coating.

The magnetic axis runs through the shortest dimension, which is typical for gripper magnets. In practice, this means that this magnet has the greatest attraction force on its main planes (20x3 mm), which is ideal for flat mounting. Such a pole arrangement ensures maximum holding capacity when pressing against the sheet, creating a closed magnetic circuit.

The presented product is a neodymium magnet with precisely defined parameters: 20 mm (length), 3 mm (width), and 2 mm (thickness). It is a magnetic block with dimensions 20x3x2 mm and a self-weight of 0.9 g, ready to work at temperatures up to 80°C. The product meets the standards for N38 grade magnets.

Strengths as well as weaknesses of rare earth magnets.

Strengths

Besides their durability, neodymium magnets are valued for these benefits:

Their power is maintained, and after approximately ten years it decreases only by ~1% (according to research),
Magnets very well defend themselves against loss of magnetization caused by ambient magnetic noise,
In other words, due to the shiny surface of gold, the element looks attractive,
Magnetic induction on the top side of the magnet is maximum,
Through (appropriate) combination of ingredients, they can achieve high thermal strength, enabling functioning at temperatures approaching 230°C and above...
Thanks to the option of free molding and adaptation to individualized needs, magnetic components can be produced in a wide range of forms and dimensions, which makes them more universal,
Wide application in electronics industry – they find application in mass storage devices, motor assemblies, precision medical tools, as well as technologically advanced constructions.
Relatively small size with high pulling force – neodymium magnets offer high power in tiny dimensions, which enables their usage in small systems

Cons

Disadvantages of NdFeB magnets:

They are fragile upon too strong impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth protecting magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also improves its resistance to damage
We warn that neodymium magnets can reduce their power at high temperatures. To prevent this, we advise our specialized [AH] magnets, which work effectively even at 230°C.
Magnets exposed to a humid environment can corrode. Therefore while using outdoors, we suggest using waterproof magnets made of rubber, plastic or other material protecting against moisture
Due to limitations in creating threads and complex forms in magnets, we recommend using cover - magnetic mount.
Possible danger to health – tiny shards of magnets can be dangerous, in case of ingestion, which gains importance in the context of child health protection. It is also worth noting that tiny parts of these products are able to disrupt the diagnostic process medical after entering the body.
High unit price – neodymium magnets have a higher price than other types of magnets (e.g. ferrite), which increases costs of application in large quantities

Lifting parameters

Maximum holding power of the magnet – what it depends on?

The declared magnet strength concerns the maximum value, obtained under laboratory conditions, meaning:

on a plate made of structural steel, perfectly concentrating the magnetic field
with a cross-section no less than 10 mm
characterized by smoothness
with total lack of distance (without coatings)
for force applied at a right angle (in the magnet axis)
at conditions approx. 20°C

Magnet lifting force in use – key factors

Holding efficiency impacted by specific conditions, such as (from priority):

Clearance – the presence of any layer (rust, dirt, gap) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which reduces power steeply (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
Force direction – note that the magnet holds strongest perpendicularly. Under sliding down, the holding force drops significantly, often to levels of 20-30% of the maximum value.
Element thickness – to utilize 100% power, the steel must be sufficiently thick. Thin sheet restricts the lifting capacity (the magnet "punches through" it).
Metal type – different alloys attracts identically. Alloy additives weaken the attraction effect.
Surface structure – the smoother and more polished the plate, the better the adhesion and higher the lifting capacity. Roughness creates an air distance.
Heat – neodymium magnets have a negative temperature coefficient. When it is hot they are weaker, and in frost they can be stronger (up to a certain limit).

Lifting capacity testing was performed on a smooth plate of optimal thickness, under a perpendicular pulling force, however under parallel forces the lifting capacity is smaller. In addition, even a minimal clearance between the magnet’s surface and the plate lowers the holding force.

Warnings

Finger safety

Pinching hazard: The attraction force is so immense that it can cause blood blisters, crushing, and broken bones. Use thick gloves.

Maximum temperature

Do not overheat. NdFeB magnets are susceptible to heat. If you need resistance above 80°C, inquire about HT versions (H, SH, UH).

Adults only

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Swallowing multiple magnets may result in them pinching intestinal walls, which constitutes a direct threat to life and necessitates immediate surgery.

Health Danger

Patients with a pacemaker have to keep an absolute distance from magnets. The magnetic field can stop the functioning of the implant.

Magnetic interference

A powerful magnetic field interferes with the operation of magnetometers in phones and GPS navigation. Keep magnets near a device to prevent damaging the sensors.

Protect data

Data protection: Neodymium magnets can ruin data carriers and sensitive devices (heart implants, hearing aids, mechanical watches).

Handling rules

Before starting, check safety instructions. Uncontrolled attraction can break the magnet or injure your hand. Think ahead.

Fire risk

Mechanical processing of neodymium magnets poses a fire risk. Neodymium dust oxidizes rapidly with oxygen and is difficult to extinguish.

Skin irritation risks

A percentage of the population experience a hypersensitivity to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Frequent touching may cause dermatitis. We suggest wear protective gloves.

Magnet fragility

Neodymium magnets are ceramic materials, which means they are very brittle. Clashing of two magnets leads to them breaking into shards.
